Before you hire
- Ask for the licence number and check it against the state register yourself — it takes a minute and it is the single most useful minute you will spend.
- Get it in writing before any money moves: what's included, what isn't, and what happens if the price changes.
- Never pay the whole job up front. A deposit is normal; the balance on completion is normal.
